Gini

I'm posting this with tears running down my face. I've just received an email from Gini's neighbour that our dear Gini passed away yesterday, Nov. 23 at 1:45 pm after fighting emphysema for the last 3.5 years. She died peacefully and seemingly not in pain. I had absolutely no idea that she was in hospital. I would have travelled down to LA to say good-bye.

I'm sure she received a standing ovation from Phred and the PT furry ones. That's all I can post for now.

RIP dear friend.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!--unknown

Oh dear! Thanks so much for letting us all know! Emphysema is such a horrible disease, and so sad. I am glad her neighbors contacted you, and you could let us know. So sad, so sad. We will always miss her!

I hope she was met with a parade of firefighters and all the beloved Pet Talkers - Phred, Molly, Corinna, Jonza, and all the others, and the orange kitties I bet formed their own tribute welcome to her.

how sad... even though I haven't been in ages here I feel so sad to know about this great loss... so many great people have gone to the RB lately..

I bet Phred had already a red carpet and firemen as escorts for when she arrived.. she will be soooo missed down here.. for those who knew here and those of us who only knew here in here.. R.I.P Gini.. I should've dropped by when I could... so sorry... another PTer I didn't took the chance to meet

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

Oh, Gini. So sorry to hear you have left us, although it is easy to imagine your joyous reunion at the Rainbow Bridge. {{{gentle hugs}}}

Thank you for the update, Slick.
